Perhaps consistent or the same would have been better then "known". I was trying to think of simple tests without a lot of instrumentation.

I agree that ohming the motor has limited usefulness. It will tell you if you have open windings or a really bad commutator. Shorted winding look about the same as good windings to a typical ohm meter. Once again things to do with minimal tools.
